The Lord’s zeal is his intense and passionate love to save you. The promise of a son isn’t only for Abraham, David, and Israel; it’s a promise also for you. His zeal is what drove the Lord to provide his Son on the mountain called Calvary to those sitting in darkness (Gen. 22:8–18; Matt. 27:33–44;... Continue Reading

God doesn’t run His kingdom on tidy plans and five-year goals. He parts seas and raises the dead. He told His people to march around a city for seven days and blow trumpets.
